Ice maker was leaking?

Either the water valve is stuck open or the ice maker tray is cracked or water passing line which runs water to ice maker tray is loose or broken.
That water passing tube needs to be checked.That tube runs from refrigerators back to the inside of refrigerator towards the ice maker.
If the tube is connected ok and not cracked, then other thing to check is water valve.The water valve opens and close to let the water enter the ice maker tray.It closes after ice tray is full.But if this valve gets faulty then water will fill not stop and hen will leak.
The valve is located at the lower back bottom of the refrigerator.
If the valve is getting open close properly, then its faulty ice maker assembly.It has to be replaced.

Replacing ice maker assembly on most of the refrigerator is not very difficult and procedure is near to same.But not exactly same.On some models there is clips holding the parts and on some models there are screws holding parts.Many a times screws are hidden and difficult to see.
